This paint is designed for interior living spaces and is not recommended for high-humidity areas like kitchens or bathrooms where moisture resistance is critical.
While coverage depends on the underlying color and surface, two coats are generally sufficient to achieve a full, opaque finish.
It is formulated to be low in VOCs, which helps reduce chemical emissions for a better indoor environment.
Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to gently buff the area. Avoid wet cleaning or abrasive sponges as they can leave permanent marks on the matte finish.
If you are painting over a similar, light-colored, stable surface, a primer may not be necessary. However, for new plaster or significant color changes, a primer is highly recommended.
Ensure you are using a medium-nap roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting to avoid uneven overlapping.
Check the surface for residual grease or dust; ensure the wall was properly cleaned and allowed to dry fully before painting.
Before starting, ensure all walls are free of dust, grease, and peeling paint. If you are painting over a dark color, apply a high-quality primer to ensure the green pigment remains true. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the colorants are evenly distributed. For maintenance, keep the finish looking fresh by gently dusting with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the matte texture. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately rather than wiping, which may spread the stain into the porous finish.
